Title:
  firefox sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH which breaks javaws

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  This is very similar to #561124 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH breaks icedtea
  plugin.  However, the fix suggested there will only deal with the Java
  plugin, not Java Webstart which is launched as a separate helper
  application.  I therefore filed a new bug - I hope that was the right
  thing to do.

  As far as I can see, there is no reason for helper applications
  launched from Firefox to be given a special LD_LIBRARY_PATH - I'd
  expect them to run the same way if launched from FF or directly from
  the menu.  For symptoms of this bug see #561124 - the errors are the
  same.

  Seems to me the only genuine fix for this would be to re-link firefox
  either to use the system libs or to rename the private libraries so
  there is no name conflict.
